District judge offices in Meyersdale and Windber are scheduled to relocate in 2009. A new water leak was discovered last week at District Judge Douglas McCall Bell's office along Beachley Street in Meyersdale. For years a garbage can has sat in a corner collecting water from a roof that has been repaired several times. At District Judge Joseph Cannoni's office along Somerset Avenue in Windber, the windows leak air so badly that they have to be covered with plastic. Last summer a brick fell through the ceiling in Cannoni's chamber, narrowly missing where he sat at his desk.
